Gifts For Dads That Rock

Alex Leopold

Father’s Day is probably the only day of the year where your Pops gets to puff out his chest and do whatever he wants to do. While he might plan to have a relaxing day, buying something for him can be rather stressful.

We have compiled the ultimate Father’s Day Gift Guide, full of things that we know your Dad will love for years to come. We’re not selfish either, as these gift ideas are not just audio-related. We have included a bunch of products from companies that we know and trust.

If Dad is in the air more than he is on the ground, make sure he is able to traverse the friendly skies in luxury. The Klipsch X11i in-ear headphones are top-of-the-line in comfort and acoustics as well as being one of the smallest headphones out there, allowing Dad to store them in any size bag. Plus, the X11i’s quality microphone will make your long-distance Skype phone calls come through crystal-clear.

There is approximately a 1000% chance your Dad has said something along the lines of “You call this music?!” Hopefully, your Pops held onto his record player and can still play all of his records. If not, consider the U-Turn Audio Orbit turntable that we reviewed. Go ahead and give it a spin, Dad.

Every Dad just wants a little space he can call his own. Get him started on his “man cave” or simply outfit his office with a pair of Klipsch Reference Premiere speakers. These copper and black speakers will make a statement not only with their looks but also with their performance of music, movies, sports or whatever your dear ol’ Dad watches.

Your Dad doesn’t want to have something doesn’t last for a year before he has to replace it. Get him something from Tanner Goods, whose leather products will last a lifetime…and possibly longer. We’re guessing your Dad’s wallet has seen better days, so give him a hand-made upgrade.

We can almost guarantee you that none of your Dad’s friends rock a wooden pocket square. Give your Dad bragging rights by gifting him this sweet wooden pocket square from Minneapolis-based WOODCHUCK USA. It comes in several different options and can be matched with a tie bar and cufflinks. Klipsch offers branded WOODCHUCK merchandise in the Klipsch Gear Store.

Chances are that your Dad grew up with most consumer goods being manufactured in the United States. Things have certainly changed; however, Klipsch still makes a line of speakers in Hope, Arkansas. Klipsch Heresy speakers are a true piece of Americana with their wooden cabinets and rock n’ roller performance. Even better yet, he can pass them onto you and future generations to come.

Don’t let your father strut about town in a pair of jeans that he bought from a Sears when Clinton was in office. The “willie rigid” jeans from Imogene & Willie are the perfect fit for Dads. They are cut with enough room for your Dad to be comfortable without making him look like he is wearing a pair of parachute pants. Oh and they’re made in Nashville, Tennessee and can be tailored exactly to your father’s specs.

Needing to cover larger areas? Klipsch performance all-weather speakers bring the party outdoors all year long.

If your Dad spends a lot of time working in the yard or on the house, a pair of outdoor speakers could be exactly what he needs to make it a little more exciting. Whether it’s the outdoor rock speakers or the performance all-weather speakers, they are sure to bring a smile to your Dad’s face while he removes an endless sea of leaves from the gutter. Check out our outdoor speaker buying guide.

The Dad Who Is Impossible to Shop For

Record Store Gift Card / Concert Tickets

Raise your hand if your Dad doesn’t give you any idea of what he wants….While we can’t see you, we’re assuming a whole bunch of you had your hands held up high. In that case, a gift card from a local record store like Indy CD & Vinyl or concert tickets (pick something he likes) would be a safe and enjoyable option for Father’s Day.

Is your dad the ultimate Klipsch fan? If his home is already filled with Klipsch speakers and headphones, you could grab him a Klipsch t-shirt, cap, mug or perhaps even a flask. Let him show off his Klipsch pride!
